They have 1,600 humans moderating as well. “But the most shocking thing is that you see characters that are naked, and you see that kids have coded ways for these characters to have sex.” What is Roblox doing about the problem?Ī source at Roblox said they were aware of the condo game issue, and the company uses its moderation protocols to fight bad actors of all kinds. “Roblox has made a world where kids can build whatever they want, and with condo games, what they want is to be much more grown-up than I think anyone imagines they would try,” he said. Fast Company’s Burt Helm told CBS that he was looking into condo games for a while, saying that they were like a party “where the parents are out of town.” On August 3, he uploaded a video called “no more condo videos… youtube’s gonna ban me lol.” Lemus-Olson has a YouTube channel where he goes by the screenname Dazzely, and he has more than 50,000 subscribers.

These are games that pass the platform’s child safety features and contain nude characters who can simulate sex acts. “Condo videos are basically, um, they’re like the dark side of Roblox,” 19-year-old user Dylan Lemus-Olson told CBS News.
